popupContainerEdit / gridLookUpEdit display multiple selected values with an "X" Button in text editor

created 8 years ago

I would like to select multiple values from a grid, The selected items have to visible in the text box.
I can achieve something similar using the popupContainerEdit  (or gridLookUpEdit  i think) but the select values are displayed as a comma seperated
string list.
Common web frameworks are able to display the selected values as kind of an object with an "X" on each item (Example screenshot) and with additional infos.
It is possible to achieve this with winforms and devexpress?

Thank you!

Hello,

Thank you for providing us with the screenshot.
I recommend you take a look at our TokenEdit. This editor validates the entered text and converts valid text blocks into tokens - separate visual elements that can display a text string, an icon, can be clicked and hovered. Also, it can be used as an in-place editor for your GridControl. Please refer to the mentioned help article for more information.

Should you have additional questions, let us know.

      Thank  you for your quick answer!
      The Control lokks good.
      Do you think it is possible to show a grid as a drop down like in the attached image?
      (perhaps using CustomDropDownControl)

        Hello,

        Thank you for the detailed information.
        By default, our TokenEdit does not provide the capability to show GridControl on its popup form. However, I can offer you an alternative way of achieving the required goal.

        1. Use our PopupContainerEdit with PopupContainerControl.
        2. Place the required GridControl on your PopupContainerControl.
        3. Then use the approach from the How to create a control that shows a list of tags example to create the required tokens in your PopupContainerEdit.

        Please try this approach and let me know your results.
